Lisa Vickie Martinez was 16 when she disappeared from Salt Lake City on March 30, 1992. She and a 15-year-old friend, Tuesday Roberts, were last seen walking toward the Valley Fair Mall and vanished that day, leaving families and the community searching for answers.

In July 1995 an inmate already serving a life term, Roberto Arguelles, confessed to abducting the two girls, taking them to his stepfather’s pig farm, and killing them. He admitted stabbing Lisa Martinez at least 43 times with a wood chisel; Tuesday Roberts was strangled with a rope. Arguelles led investigators to the gravesites where both girls’ bodies were recovered.

Arguelles was later tried and convicted for the murders of Lisa Martinez, Tuesday Roberts, and two other victims from early 1992. Does anyone have memories of Lisa, Tuesday, or the area near Valley Fair Mall in 1992 that could add detail to the timeline?
